Nathan Buckley’s lunch date with ex-girlfriend Shelley Ware

Nathan Buckley’s love life has taken another turn after he was spotted out for lunch with an old flame.

Nathan Buckley’s love life has been a fascination of recent times.

And last week the appearance of a ring on the wedding finger of who we thought was his ex Alex Pike ramped it up again.

The former Collingwood coach probably thought he was safe from scrutiny when he arrived at last week’s MCC lunch in the lead-up to Round 1.

Nathan Buckley used to date Shelley Ware in his playing days.

Alex Pike was Buckley’s most recent relationship.

But eyebrows were raised when Buckley took his seat and who happened to be on his table?

An ex-girlfriend.

Shelley Ware, a prominent broadcaster, went out with Buckley during his playing days.

The pair are on good terms and happily enjoyed the lunch.

Ware even won Buckley’s football as a prize. Awww, shucks.
